August was one thing in particular - warm. Too warm. Ignoring the hot weather I started knitting.

Then I got this awesome scooter. Although I still have to practice driving a bit. But it is fun nevertheless. And we finally met our little nephew for the first time. Such a cutie! I also started in my new school.

Mr. Biest and I were on vacation by the sea, where it was fortunately cooler. There met this cat. I always try to befriend random animals I meet. There I also shot this image of jellyfish in an aquarium - without filters or editing - I just love the colors. They match my hair color.

I got a replace my dog ​​tag with the (a tiny bit) false movie quote. There was no ' as special characters and the first time the seller simply changed my text, but this time I asked him to simply use the only other other available special character instead. I bought this tin of Steam Cream at TK Maxx for only 5 € which is really cheap. It was so cheap, because the lid has a few dents. And my skin likes this cream very much. And another type cream: Mr. Biest has made his first cake - raspberry with vanilla butter cream - so delicious, but incredibly sweet. And my little Boy Wonder finally got a caped friend. I bought this backpack and already used it during my vacation.

And I started to gather up my material for my next long-term DIY project. Towards the end of the month Mr. Beast cooked a fantastic 3-course meal for some friends. Even though it was just something I ordered I got exceptionally excited over this stamp.

The first test went very well. It's really airtight, looks great and seems to be of high quality. The Box in custom colors with 2 containers and a small inner box costs 35,00 € up. I even bought a second inner box for € 2,90 and 2 sauce jar 5,50 €. With shipping I paid € 50.30. There tons of accessories like additional inner box in various sizes and sauce jars, rubber bands, cutlery sets and bags and a lot more. The long-term test is still out, but so far I am very happy with my choice.

The first is from a market stall in Greifswald, the second one is from Killstar and the third I made myself from a big scarf. My interpretation of Strega is currently less woodsy and more city-compatible. There are not really at Strega categories or rules, which I personally like very much. It allows more freedom and space for your own ideas.

My outfits actually consist almost always of similar components. Loose tops in a layered look, fluttery cardigans, pants (or leggings - I refuse to see them as anything other than unisex garments) and flat, more or less chunky shoes. As for accessories I keep it rather simple. I'm just not the type for a lot of jewelry.

My hair has grown enough to re-cut my undercut and I also dyed it this time. The color varies depending on the lights from green-ish-turquoise to blue-pertrol. I used 1/3 Direction Alpine Green and 2/3 silver conditioner uses and left it in my hair for 1 hour. I already used Alpine Green before and I'm excited to see how the color is going to wash out this time.

The Bay of Greifswald or Greifswald Bodden [...] is a basin in the southwestern Baltic Sea, off the shores of Germany in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. With an area of 514 km², it is the largest Bodden of the German Baltic coast

We ate almost every evening at the same restaurant - the Braugasthaus Fritz on the market, which in one of the old brick houses. The specialty of the house was the huge selection of beer, especially Craft Beer.

Recently I bought a very nice raw rock crystal. I always wanted to have a pendant with a raw-looking crystal, but the ones you can buy were either not exactly what I wanted or too expensive. This one is just perfect and I made a pendant by wire wrapping it. Then I also wrapped a couple of polished stones from my collection. You can find some inspiration and tutorials on Pinterest.

While sorting my photos I stumbled these picture that I apparently never been showed here. Sometime in the summer of 2013 I was at the Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam with my family. And because it fits well thematically I'll show few other photos to from the same year.
